Barn Beam Mantels

In my opinion, nothing looks better than a barn beam mantel over your fire place.  The hand hewn beams have lots of character and give off a warm feel.

Hand Hewn: "hewing" is the process of converting a log from its rounded natural form into lumber (timber) with more or less flat surfaces using primarily an axe.  Cleaning up a beam is simple!  All you need is a wire brush and an orbital sander.  You can either stain the beam or add a protective clear coat.

Mounting a heavy barn beam mantel can be a challenge so make sure you have a clear game plan before deciding to nail one of these to one of your walls.  The most common way to install a beam is to hollow out the back and screw it to a mounting bar/plate that is already secured into your stud wall.  See below:

Step #1 - Install your mounting plate to the wall.

 

Step #2 - Hollow out the back of your beam.  Apply PL Premium (our favorite) to the mounting plate and inside the beam.

Step #3 - Screw the mantel at the back to the mounting plate that is on the wall.  Both the screws and adhesive will make sure that this beam isn't going anywhere.

Click below on a few examples of some really nice barn beam mantels.  Here at Stairhaus, we stock beams anywhere from 6x6 all the way up to 12x12.  The most popular mantel size seems to be anywhere around 7x7 to 9x9.  We can cut them to any length and you can pick out what beam you want to mount on your wall!

Take a look at the gallery below and be prepared to want one of these over your fireplace!  It's time to replace that cheap mdf builders grade mantel!


BARN DOORS Rule!

We sent out 5 custom barn doors last week, so I thought it would be fitting to whip up a blog post on these beauties.  The barn door style has been around for hundreds of years however recently the demand for tracks has skyrocketed due to the popularity of having functional barn doors inside of your home.  Whether we make you a rustic door out of reclaimed materials or you hang a brand new door, we sell the tracks and can offer a variety of door styles you can choose from (we also have barn doors in our showroom for you to see).

Take a look through this gallery and I guarantee you will find a style you will fall in love with!
